Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has assured fans they can look forward to a brighter future with greater transfer activity at the club.
Wenger was in upbeat mood following Monday's 5-2 Premier League victory against Reading, a result that put to bed some of the negative attention the club had received following last week's shock Capital One Cup exit at the hands of League Two side Bradford City.
The Frenchman revealed that the club are finally in a position to spend significantly in the transfer market after overcoming the difficult financial transition to a new stadium.
Wenger is hopeful the club will be able to attract the biggest stars in the future, and prevent the Gunners' brightest talents leaving for more lucrative contracts at rival sides.
"We have gone through a period where we had restricted potential, financially," Wenger said. "[That happens] when you move into the new stadium, but we have come over that period and now hopefully can be a bit more convincing [with transfers and contracts]."
